Are Alan And Kirlyam Still Together? New Details On The '90 Day Fiancé' Couple And Their Relationship
American Alan and Brazilian Kirlyam married on '90 Day Fiancé' in 2014. Are they still together?
Instagram The hit TLC show 90 Day Fiancé has gifted viewers with unending drama from some of the couples over the years —who can forget Anifsa screaming for Jorge to bring her "my red bag with my makeup." But a few couples have been genuine love matches who only had to overcome geography to get to happily ever after. That’s good news for the state of their marriages but the lack of drama means they don’t get follow up series offers. One such couple is Alan and Kirlyam. The American man met his Brazilian wife while he was serving a Mormon mission a number of years ago. They got reacquainted when he traveled back to her country for a friend’s wedding and hit it off romantically. She agreed to move to the US to start their life together and TLC captured the process in the first season of the show.
Since then, they have appeared on a few follow ups to share what's going on with them with fans — like when they had their baby. But where are Alan and Kirlyam now? Read on for all the details. Are Alan and Kirlyam still together?
1. Early meeting
The couple’s backstory raised a few eyebrows when they revealed that they first met when Alan was 20-years-old and serving his Mormon mission trip in Brazil. The Heavy reports that he became friendly with Krilyam’s family, who were members of the Mormon church. It is not unusual for church members to strike up friendships with visiting missionaries and invite them over for meals and other family activities. At the time Kirlyam was only 11-years-old. The couple is adamant that there was nothing between them when they first met. The Heavy reports that they made a video about it on YouTube and Kirlyam said: “Please, if you want to know the truth — that’s the truth. We didn’t have anything when we first met, and for like six years after we met. So don’t believe everything you read on the Internet. If you want to know the truth, ask us.”
Alan traveled back to Brazil years later to attend a wedding and got in touch with other friends while he was there. That was when he and Kirlyam, now both adults, connected and started their relationship.
They were on the first season of '90 Day Fiancé' in 2014.
2. TLC
Kirlyam moved to the US on a K1 fiancé visa and the couple appeared on the first season of 90 Day Fiancé. The season covered her attempts at modeling, which made Alan jealous. They ended the season with a wedding at the Mormon temple, though Kirlyam's parents weren't able to attend. They did manage to set up a live streaming of the wedding for them. After a honeymoon in Hawaii, they settled down and prepared to live happily ever after.
The couple married in a Mormon ceremony.
3. Baby news
Starcasm reports that the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together in 2017. Kirlyam shared the news of the pregnancy and details about the experience in her blog saying: “These last 5 months have been the most incredible of my life! The first ultrasound, the first kick, the first outfit, my body and my mind changing…Everything is different, and I could not be happier. Lovingly named Parasitazinho (lol) Liam is the miracle that made our happiness even greater. I’m learning so much and there’s still more to learn, I know. And I’m grateful for each of those details that have been going on. I can not wait to get him in my arms and see his little face! God has given us this miracle, and all I do is thank Him for entrusting us both to one of his children.” The pair was featured on an episode of TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: What Now? to catch up with them during Kirlyam’s pregnancy.
They were delighted about their first child.
4. Liam
The couple welcomed their son in October 2017, according to Starcasm. Alan took to Instagram to announce the happy news with a photo of the new family and a caption that read: “Welcome to the world Liam Jordan da Costa Cox. Born 10/06/17 at 7:57 pm. 6 lbs 15 oz 20 inches long. Baby and momma are doing great. I’m so proud of you @kirlyam_. You are a true warrior. I love you so much!” In a second photo, he eloquently praised his wife for bravery during the birth, saying: “I do not have the words to describe what I feel for this wonderful woman. I am so proud of her. She was an absolute warrior in the delivery room. After 20 hours of active labor she still had the energy and drive to sacrifice her body for Liam. I will forever be grateful and love this woman for all time and eternity. @kirlyam_ thank you”

5. Relocating
After leaving his job in California, the couple and their baby moved in with Alan’s parents in Utah while they planned their next steps. They considered moving to Brazil to be near Kirlyam’s family but Alan says that “wasn’t in the cards” according to Soapdirt. Instead, he found a new job in North Carolina and they relocated there.
The happy family.
For now, they seem to love North Carolina but they do hope to someday move to Brazil.
